Suzuki Jimny 660 Kei Car Petrol Cars
The Suzuki Jimny 660 Kei Car Petrol offers a compact yet capable off-road experience tailored for tight urban environments and adventurous Australian backroads. Although originally designed to meet Japan’s Kei car regulations, the Jimny 660's compact dimensions—just under 3.4 metres in length and around 1.48 metres in width—make it exceptionally easy to manoeuvre through narrow city streets and park in congested areas, a significant advantage for Australian city drivers facing limited space.
Powered by a small but efficient 660cc petrol engine, this lightweight vehicle delivers sufficient performance for daily commutes while maintaining excellent fuel economy—a crucial consideration given Australia's varying fuel prices and long distances between service stations in rural areas. The engine’s simplicity translates to lower running costs, making it an economical choice for budget-conscious Australians.
The Jimny 660 boasts the trademark ruggedness of the Suzuki Jimny range, featuring a body-on-frame chassis combined with high ground clearance (approximately 185 mm), which equips it well for light off-roading on unsealed outback tracks or sandy beach accesses typical of many Australian recreational spots. Its four-wheel-drive system provides added traction during wet weather or on loose surfaces like gravel roads commonly encountered outside metropolitan regions.
Inside, the interior is functional rather than luxurious, offering basic comforts and intuitive controls suitable for both novice and experienced drivers navigating Australian conditions—from hot summers to unpredictable coastal rains. The simple layout minimises distractions while delivering essential information clearly.
Although right-hand drive versions imported into Australia might be rarer than larger models, the Jimny 660 still appeals as an urban micro-SUV with genuine off-road capabilities—a unique proposition within Australia’s diverse automotive landscape where versatility and reliability are paramount. This model stands out as a practical solution for those seeking compact adventure with efficient petrol power.
